Price model Buy once, no subscription; optional cosmetic shop

Latest update Season 5: Rage of the Frostborn, October 1, 2026

Last Epoch is an isometric action RPG in the same family as games where you click through monsters and chase better loot. Its story moves through different eras of the world of Eterra, which is why the endgame is built around timelines and echoes.

It stands out for two things: a deep but readable crafting system and a built-in loot filter. Both make it friendlier to new players than many games in the genre. The Orobyss expansion is planned for 2027.

What is the objective in Last Epoch?

Your goal is to build a character strong enough to beat the hardest bosses. The path has three stages: finish the campaign, reach high levels and good gear in the Monolith of Fate, then push corruption and kill pinnacle bosses.

You choose one of five base classes: Sentinel, Mage, Primalist, Acolyte or Rogue. Each class picks one of three masteries, such as Paladin, Bladedancer or Shaman, which shapes the rest of the build. You also join a faction. The Merchant's Guild lets you trade with other players, and the Circle of Fortune boosts the loot you find yourself.

How do you win in Last Epoch?

Each part of the game has its own clear win condition:

Mode Players How you win
Campaign Solo or party Finish the story chapters and their bosses
Monolith of Fate Solo or party Clear echoes and timeline bosses to open Empowered timelines
Corruption Solo or party Keep raising corruption in Empowered timelines for better loot
Dungeons Solo or party Clear Lightless Arbor, Soulfire Bastion or Temporal Sanctum
Pinnacle bosses Solo or party Kill Aberroth, Uber Aberroth or Pinnacle Morditas
Hardcore Solo or party Do all of the above with one life

Most players treat a full Aberroth kill as the point where a build is "done". Players who want more push corruption as high as their build can survive.

How do levels, Cycles and corruption work?

The level cap is 100. You earn passive points for your class and mastery trees, plus skill points for each skill you equip. Leveling past 70 is mostly done in the Monolith and dungeons rather than the campaign.

  • Cycle and Legacy: each season is a Cycle with fresh characters and the new mechanic. When it ends, characters move to Legacy, the permanent realm.
  • Online and Offline: online characters can trade and party; offline characters cannot move online.
  • Corruption: each Empowered timeline has a corruption number. Higher corruption means tougher monsters and better rewards.

What are the best tips for new Last Epoch players?

  • Follow a simple leveling build for your first character, then branch out.
  • Turn on the loot filter early so you only see useful items.
  • Do not spend all your crafting materials on early gear; it will be replaced.
  • Pick the Circle of Fortune if you play solo and do not want to trade.
  • Clear the campaign before you worry about the Monolith.
  • Kill the Harbingers in Empowered timelines to open Aberroth.

Last Epoch FAQ

Is Last Epoch free to play?

No. Last Epoch is a one-time purchase on PC with no subscription. Seasons and their new mechanics are free updates for owners. There is an optional shop that sells cosmetics and supporter packs, but it does not sell power. Console versions and the Orobyss expansion are planned for 2027, and their pricing has not been announced.

What is the level cap in Last Epoch?

The level cap is 100. Each level gives a passive point for your class and mastery trees, and each equipped skill levels on its own up to 20 base points. Most players finish the campaign around level 55 to 70, then reach high levels in the Monolith of Fate, dungeons and the Arena.

Which class should a beginner pick in Last Epoch?

Pick the class whose fantasy you like most, because every class has strong builds. Many new players start with a Sentinel or Primalist because they are sturdy and forgiving. Minion builds for the Acolyte or Primalist are also easy to learn. Follow a current leveling build for your first character and change later.

What is corruption in Last Epoch?

Corruption is a number on each Empowered Monolith timeline that rises as you clear echoes and beat its boss. Higher corruption makes monsters tougher and improves loot. Players use it as an open-ended way to test their build. In Season 5, the fixed Woven Echo for Pinnacle Morditas needs 400 corruption.

What is the difference between Cycle and Legacy?

Cycle is the current season. Characters start fresh and get the seasonal mechanic, such as Rage of Morditas in Season 5. Legacy is the permanent realm where older characters live. When a Cycle ends, its characters move to Legacy. Most active players and new content focus on the current Cycle.

Can I play with your team instead of sharing my account?

Yes, for boss kills and dungeon runs. You join our party on your own character and only share your character name. Leveling, campaign and Monolith orders are usually piloted, which means sharing a login. We could not confirm Eleventh Hour Games' full terms, so treat sharing a login as against the rules and prefer self-play.
